Problems with CTRL in shortcuts under OS X

Hi,
is anybody experiencing the same problem where short cuts with CTRL don't work?

I'm using the Mac Version and almost all of the (standard) shortcuts using CTRL don't work.
Some exceptions are: CTRL-C/-V for copy/paste.

Some shortcuts like the 'find' ones are working when I use apple command key instead of CTRL.
e.g. CTRL+F doesn't work, but AppleCMD+F does
No one of the CTRL+Shift+ shortcuts are working, neither with apple command key substitution.

The most annoying is, that I can't use CTRL+Space for code completion, my current work around is using Shift+Space, but that's not satisfying :(
I've already disabled the hot key for spot light and tried to close all other running applications, but that doesn't help.

Have had anybody the same issue under mac and was successfully in solving it?

Felix.

Most of the shortcuts will work when u use the CMD key instead of control.

Also: CMD + Space should work for code completion.

The thing is that the replacement from CTRL -> CMD is done internally by wxWidgets.. and not by codelite.

You can try and re-assign the keyboard shortcuts from:
Settings | Keyboard shortcuts...

I simply got used to use CMD key instead of CTRL for everything and it seems to work, though I dont work much under MacOS
